I am a business professional who has been contributing to the project since January of 2006 and an administrator since 2007. I've always been disappointed with the astounding amount of vandalism and promotional editing that has plagued the project, and much of my efforts here have been to clean that up. Otherwise, my contributions have been to shore up and maintain business and economic topics.
